Encounters x324 - Ghosts on the Girls’ Trip

We’re packing our bags for a spooky girls’ trip episode where the only itinerary is haunted vibes, chaotic energy, and paranormal encounters that seem to happen whenever the girls get together. In this episode we read listener stories about bachelorette parties, road trips, and weekend getaways that took a turn into the supernatural. Ghost photobombs, objects moving on their own, possible UFO sightings, and more. When you travel with your besties, sometimes a few spirits join the party too. Stories include: On a girls’ trip to New Orleans, a selfie at Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop features the infamous face in the fireplace—perhaps the face of the ghostly flasher from Sabrina’s bachelorette party. A quiet sleepover style bachelorette party takes a wild turn when a balloon glides across the kitchen and pulls streamers down like a playful spirit is joining the celebration. Two best friends driving through the Appalachian mountains witness a UFO moving at an impossible speed. At an Airbnb wedding weekend, a Polaroid photo captures a tall figure in the hallway while guests experience missing phones, memory gaps, and heavy energy at the house. A birthday cocktail outing inside a historic Halifax house becomes unforgettable when a Snapchat video reveals a second face right beside the listener’s. Watch the video version here.

• 2:11Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  It's the girls' room.

• 2:13Corinne Vien?

  The girls' room.

• 2:15Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I like eggs. Um, hi.

• 2:18Corinne Vien?

  This is Two Girls, One Ghost.

• 2:20Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Two girls, one ghost. And we are your ghostesses. That is Corinne.

• 2:24Corinne Vien?

  Hello.

• 2:25Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I'm Sabrina. And yeah, we're going on a girls' trip right now via your stories.

• 2:31Corinne Vien?

  It's an encounters episode, so we read your haunted experiences. But we've themed this episode girls' trip.

• 2:38Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Bachelorette, girls' trip, weird, fun, spooky things that happen when you're just with your ghouls.

• 2:44Corinne Vien?

  Do you want to start?

• 2:45Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Do I? Sure. Okay. Well, okay, I'll start with one that I'm very excited about because this starts with the context of a girls' trip that we went on many moons ago.

• 2:55Corinne Vien?

  We did?

• 2:55Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah, from my bachelorette.

• 2:57Corinne Vien?

  Ah, NOLA.

• 2:58Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  New Orleans. And we infamously, truly infamously, because we were put in the tabloids because of this.

• 3:05Corinne Vien?

  Still our only moment of magazines.

• 3:08Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  In the press, we caught an image that we really believe is a ghost penis. And one of our listeners believes they found the head to the peen.

• 3:18Corinne Vien?

  Like the tip of the peen?

• 3:19Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  No, like the face.

• 3:20Corinne Vien?

  Or the person whose penis it was?

• 3:22Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And as context, the Lafitte's blacksmith shop, which is or in bar, which is where we caught the image of the penis. All the tour guides and people say that often the image of a head is caught.

• 3:35Corinne Vien?

  Jean Lafitte's head is captured when taking photos inside a non-working fireplace that is open from both sides. So it's in the middle of the bar. There's like seating on either side where people can just like sit and have beers or whatever. But if you take a photo, you can see through, but sometimes in the center, hanging right where a flame would be, is the face of Jean Lafitte.

• 3:57Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  We caught his penis.

• 3:59Corinne Vien?

  Yeah.

• 3:59Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Or he flashed us his penis. So this is from our listener, Allison, who was on a girls' trip in New Orleans. And capture what most people do capture in the fireplace, but it goes with our penis. Ours, it's our penis. Sometimes I really wish I had a penis.

• 4:18Corinne Vien?

  Oh.

• 4:21Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  What would you think of something?

• 4:22Corinne Vien?

  Well, you were talking about shared penises and then all of a sudden I was like, where are we going?

• 4:26Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Oh, you like sharing a penis? I do not want to be a sister wife. No.

• 4:33Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  No, I just would like to have one for a day.

• 4:35Corinne Vien?

  All right, but this one's more PG. There's a

• 4:36Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yes.

• 4:37Corinne Vien?

  A face.

• 4:38Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yes, okay. Hi ladies, I love your podcast. I love you guys. All right, let's get into it. So there's a first story before. First, I'm going to tell you the story of how I opened my mind to believing in ghosts. I used to work at a retail store in downtown Seattle and I often worked the overnight floor set shifts where we would be there from 9pm until early in the morning, setting up new product and switching out displays. On one of those nights, probably around 2 or 3am, let's just say 3 for the vibes, I was on the ground floor, working on an upper display while the rest of the team was upstairs on the second floor. I had headphones in, listening to music pretty loud, because I obviously hadn't discovered your podcast yet, because otherwise I would have been listening to that.

• 5:18Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  But I was listening to music and I was standing on a ladder, adjusting the display, when suddenly I felt a very distinctive poke on my ankle. And I figured it was just another member of my team needing my attention, but I didn't hear them over my music. So I looked down and no one was there. I was like, okay, weird. And I just get back to what I was doing. 10 minutes later, I finished the upper display. I got down and went into the stockroom to put away my supplies. Not long after, I hear this banging on the door. And these are really heavy stockroom doors, heavy silver metal doors, it's pretty hard to make that level of noise that I was hearing. Again, I assume someone from upstairs needs me and their hands are full, so they're kicking the door or something. But I go and again, there's no one there.

• 6:02Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  When I finally get upstairs to the rest of the team, I ask if anyone was downstairs looking for me. And my manager was like, uh, no? Why? So I told him what was happening and he just gaslit me, saying I was imagining things because I was tired. At this point in my life, I didn't believe in ghosts. I guess I didn't not believe, I just didn't really think about it. But the poke on my ankle was so specific, I have no other explanation for it. One of my coworkers, when I told this story, then came over to me and told me she once felt a tap on her shoulder in that same area of the building. So definitely not imagining things because I'm tired. From then on, anytime something weird would happen, we like to blame it on the ghost. Before it was a store I worked at, it was an FAO Schwarz store. Oh, the giant toy store.

• 6:47Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Of course, that's haunted.

• 6:49Corinne Vien?

  Yeah. Which also like how cool, I almost want to do an overnight in one of those places.

• 6:54Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I know.

• 6:55Corinne Vien?

  That seems like the spookiest, but also really fun.

• 6:58Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Like the giant.

• 6:59Corinne Vien?

  At the museum vibes.

• 7:01Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Does the giant Toys R Us still exist in Times Square?

• 7:04Corinne Vien?

  Oh, I don't know.

• 7:04Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I would love to do.

• 7:06Corinne Vien?

  Because every other Toys R Us went out of business, right?

• 7:07Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah. That, because that would be a really cool one. Okay. So now for the story I teased about in the subject line. Not long after the episode you recorded where you talked about Sabrina's bachelorette party in New Orleans, I found out my best friend wanted to have her bachelorette party in New Orleans as well. So of course, I re-listened to the episode to take some notes about things to see and I passed them along to the girl organizing the trip. And finally, we got there. It was the first night and we did a ghost tour. It was filled with stories of Delphine LaLaurie, voodoo, zombies, vampires, and of course, ghosts. About halfway through the tour, we stopped to do a bathroom and drink refill break at none other than Lafitte's Blacksmith shop. I got so excited and of course, told all the other people in my group about you guys catching a photo of a ghost penis.

• 7:53Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And I was excitingly showing them the photo. And all of them, including our tour guide, was like, what the fuck? I love that, the tour guide now knows.

• 8:01Corinne Vien?

  Yeah.

• 8:02Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  While we were waiting for everyone to get their drinks, my friend and I start taking selfies near the fireplace, jokingly like, ooh, what if we also catch a ghost penis? Our tour resumes, we end up spending the rest of the night out on Bourbon Street, you know, it gets wild and then we go home. The next day, my friend and I are scrolling through our photos and I see her freeze. And she shows me the photo we took at Lafitte's. Right behind our heads, you can see a face. It's a live photo, so I watched it a couple of times to make sure it's not a trick of the light. And I even compared it to your photo where you had the flash on to see if it's just a light patch in the brick. But I don't think it is. It kind of looks like a Guy Fawkes mask, mustache and all. There's also a strange shadow over my shoulder. I'm on the right. It kind of looks like a hand.

• 8:44Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  But that might just be me wanting it to be a ghost. I'm not really sure. So what do you think? Face of a ghost or just a trick of the light? Love you spooky queens and especially precious Leia, Allison.

• 8:57Corinne Vien?

  Do you have a photo?

• 8:58Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Mm-hmm.

• 8:59Corinne Vien?

  Ew! Uh, yeah, no, that totally looks like a face.

• 9:03Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Right.

• 9:04Corinne Vien?

  With like the ear. It almost looks like a gargoyle.

• 9:07Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  It does. It is very much like the Guy Fawkes mask. But I do feel like this has like a larger nose. But isn't the story that someone like put the guy's face into the fireplace?

• 9:17Corinne Vien?

  Yeah.

• 9:18Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I can't remember like all the hauntings of it. But to like, he does kind of have a deformed face, which would make sense if your face was put into the fire.

• 9:26Corinne Vien?

  Right.

• 9:28Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Fun!

• 9:30Corinne Vien?

  You caught something. Ghost evidence. Yeah, I mean, like you can see where the ears are.

• 9:36Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I know.

• 9:37Corinne Vien?

  In comparison to the eyes, like you can see the bone structure. It totally looks like a face.

• 9:42Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  It looks like a face.

• 9:44Corinne Vien?

  Dang. What a bachelorette trip.

• 9:46Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  How fun. Love catching ghost photos on bachelorette trips.

• 9:51Corinne Vien?

  I also love how many emails we got where it was like, we did a girls' trip and it's like someone with their kids or someone with their mom and their grandma. It's still a girls' trip.

• 9:59Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Absolutely.

• 10:00Corinne Vien?

  Even if it's not with your girlfriends. It's just your friends who you're related to.

• 10:04Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Oh, I cannot wait for a girls' trip with like my sister and my nieces.

• 10:08Corinne Vien?

  Yeah.

• 10:09Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Like just the four of us.

• 10:10Corinne Vien?

  Oh, and when you can do, well, I know you guys don't live near each other, but like I feel like the, I always see really fun videos and stuff online of people being like, sleepover at your aunt's house or like a weekend with your aunt and it's like the best time ever and just like, amazing experience.

• 10:26Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I've been teaching Naomi about what a slumber party is.

• 10:30Corinne Vien?

  Of course.

• 10:30Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yes. So she's already prepared.

• 10:33Corinne Vien?

  She's ready.

• 10:34Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I'm getting her very ready for it.

• 10:36Corinne Vien?

  Okay, this is from Jan. Here is my ghostal note-sized story.

• 10:40Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Ghostal note?

• 10:41Corinne Vien?

  I like that. It's a petite story.

• 10:44Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Okay.

• 10:45Corinne Vien?

  In 2014, my two daughters and I took a girls' trip to South Dakota, where my parents both were born. We went to Deadwood and stayed at the Bullock Hotel. It was built and owned by George Bullock back in the day, the old Wild West days, and his presence is said to still be there. So of course, we took the ghost walk. It was interesting, but we had no spooky experiences. Later that night, we were all asleep in the same room about 1:00 a.m., and I felt a cold, wet touch on my hand.

• 11:14Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Ew, the wet. I don't like that.

• 11:16Corinne Vien?

  It felt like the size of an eraser. That's really the only way I can think to describe it.

• 11:20Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Why do I think that's like a tongue?

• 11:23Corinne Vien?

  Oh, no! No, but you're gonna like it.

• 11:25Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Oh, okay.

• 11:26Corinne Vien?

  I raised up in bed, thinking it was one of my daughters, but they were still sleeping. So then I started to lay back down when I heard, clear as day, meow.

• 11:37Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Oh, okay. That's such a relief.

• 11:42Corinne Vien?

  I held still for a moment, but nothing else happened, so I just went back to sleep. The next morning, I told my girls about my funny dream, and we all laughed. Before we checked out, we were talking to a bartender, and he asked if we saw anything weird on our ghost tour. My daughter jokingly said, "No, but Mom heard a cat." Does that count? He stopped wiping the glasses and turned around. "You're staying on the third floor, right?" he asked. We were, he continued. "Our customers have encounters with cats up there."

• 12:09Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  No way!

• 12:10Corinne Vien?

  "I can assure you, there are no cats in the hotel, and we do not know where they come from, but there are definitely ghost cats here."

• 12:18Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And they're licking you in your, in your sleep.

• 12:20Corinne Vien?

  Yeah, they're giving you kisses. So yay, I realized that I did hear a ghost cat, and I got touched by a wet, cold ghost kitty nose.

• 12:30Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Oh my gosh.

• 12:32Corinne Vien?

  Either a nose, or like you truly got like...

• 12:34Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  A ghost kitty kiss.

• 12:36Corinne Vien?

  A kitty kiss.

• 12:38Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  That's the best.

• 12:39Corinne Vien?

  Right? It starts out spooky because you're like, ew!

• 12:42Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Well, because I immediately thought of like, people can lick too.

• 12:45Corinne Vien?

  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 12:47Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Oh, my God, that's such a good one.

• 12:49Corinne Vien?

  Right?

• 12:49Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Now I want to stay there.

• 12:51Corinne Vien?

  The Bullock Hotel.

• 12:52Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Third floor.

• 12:52Corinne Vien?

  Deadwood, South Car- South Carolina, South Dakota.

• 12:56Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  The South something.

• 12:57Corinne Vien?

  Very. If you were expecting South Carolina, you'd have to put South Dakota. It's gonna be very different.

• 13:02Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Two very different experiences. Wow. That's special.

• 13:07Corinne Vien?

  Yeah, that's a great trip.

• 13:08Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I love that.

• 13:09Corinne Vien?

  Ghost cats.

• 13:09Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Would love to go.

• 13:10Corinne Vien?

  Yeah.

• 13:11Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I'm gonna reach out to that hotel.

• 13:12Corinne Vien?

  What a success.

• 13:13Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  This episode also just reminds me so much of like, all the investigations we've done because we do them very like slumber party, girls' trip vibe.

• 13:21Corinne Vien?

  Yeah.

• 13:21Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And it's just so fun.

• 13:22Corinne Vien?

  It's funny because that's just always been the default. We'd never gone into anything being like.

• 13:26Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 13:27Corinne Vien?

  I don't know. I guess that's just, are we just girls' trip? Is that just ingrained in us?

• 13:31Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I think we live vicariously as girls' trip.

• 13:35Corinne Vien?

  Yeah. Like if Travel Channel was like, I'm giving you girls a show, you're gonna do investigations like this. I'd be like, no.

• 13:41Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah, no, we would have to make it be.

• 13:42Corinne Vien?

  We need our snacks. We need our, our games, our like things to do with our ghosts.

• 13:48Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yes. Lots of snacks. I'm so excited. I'm getting my whole body MRI scan from Prenuvo in a couple of weeks.

• 15:39Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Let's see, this one is called, "A Ghost Tried to Ruin My Bachelorette Party." Oh my God. And this is from Steph.

• 15:46Corinne Vien?

  Wow.

• 15:47Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Okay. "Hi, Corinne and Sabrina. I'm shamelessly resending this story with a catchy subject line, hoping to get your attention. But in all seriousness, I'm pretty sure a ghost crashed my bachelorette party. Before anyone says anything, I would like to share that at the time of my bachelorette party, I was not a big drinker. I think I had one drink the whole night and none of my bridesmaids got hammered, so I really don't think alcohol was a factor in what we experienced."

• 16:12Corinne Vien?

  I love how Steph says, "At the time, I was not a big drinker," which almost like insinuates that maybe now Steph is.

• 16:18Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Oh, she's like, getting drunk all the time.

• 16:21Corinne Vien?

  I know, I have a pile of wine every night now, but back in the day.

• 16:25Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  One drink maximum. Okay. Well, this is sweet. I'd also like to start the story by saying, "My sister is a saint. She was so nervous about being my maid of honor and making sure everything was perfect. And all I wanted for my bachelorette party was a low-key sleepover with my best friends, where we could stuff our faces and watch rom-coms all night." So.

• 16:45Corinne Vien?

  Wait, I think I've told you this before. I was so nervous that Lexi wasn't going to plan your bachelorette. Like, that something would go wrong? That I made backup reservations for every single meal and every single day for your bachelorette? And then just as things worked out, I would cancel them?

• 17:00Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  You did?

• 17:00Corinne Vien?

  Yeah. This is not gonna, because we had a really big party. I was like,

• 17:05Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 17:05Corinne Vien?

  We're not risking something going wrong here.

• 17:07Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Well, I think I also told you because when I told my sister what I wanted, because my sister and I were both engaged and like, planning weddings kind of around the same time. I'm also divorced, in case people are confused. This is a past life of mine.

• 17:20Corinne Vien?

  This was a girl's trip.

• 17:21Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  This was just a girl's trip. But when I told her I wanted to have like a vampire themed night, she was like so disgusted. And she was like, I do not want that for mine. I was like, I'm not saying for yours. Like, I know.

• 17:35Corinne Vien?

  This is my bachelor party.

• 17:38Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Plan a vampire night for you.

• 17:40Corinne Vien?

  She also wasn't going to New Orleans.

• 17:41Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  She was going to Vegas. Yeah. Anyway, she did a great job, but.

• 17:46Corinne Vien?

  Yeah, she did a great job. But I had her back, just in case she needed it.

• 17:51Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I think she low key is like disturbed by how weird I am. Actually, it's not even low key. She's very upfront about it. She's like, you're so fucking weird.

• 18:01Corinne Vien?

  Whatever.

• 18:02Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And I'm proud of it.

• 18:03Corinne Vien?

  Okay.

• 18:03Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Weird people are more fun. I agree. My sister's fun too, but you know.

• 18:09Corinne Vien?

  But we're a little less predictable.

• 18:10Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 18:13Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  You never know what's gonna happen. So we decided to rent an Airbnb in our hometown and it was perfect. It was a two story home with a cute little backyard. When you walked into the house, you entered a landing slash hallway with two staircases, one going up and one going down. The one that went up led into a large bedroom and the one that led down led to the living room and kitchen. On the main floor, right off the front door, were two bedrooms and a bathroom. This house had tons of Instagrammable rooms and decor and could fit the whole bridal party comfortably. I was so excited to spend the night with my favorite ladies. Sounds perfect. What could go wrong? However, what I didn't know going in was that my sister's friend recommended we lie on the Airbnb application and said only three people would be staying in the house.

• 18:59Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I'm not sure if it's because it was a bachelorette party and we wouldn't have been approved by the owner, or if my sister was just trying to save money, but that's what she did. She put three people. So I get to the Airbnb on the day of my bachelorette party and it already starts off weird. I'm carrying in my suitcase and I see the neighbor across the street taking photos of me and the other girls going in. Okay, weird, but I didn't give it much thought. She wasn't exactly hiding what she was doing and I'm not confrontational enough to say something. So we just kept going about our business and going into the house. That is like suspicious. That would make me uncomfortable, the neighbors taking pictures of me.

• 19:35Corinne Vien?

  Oh, yeah, but I understand like as a group, you have an expectation of like how the weekend's gonna go. And so even though like you might wanna say something, sometimes you're like, let's just let things go and like see how.

• 19:47Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  So non-confrontational, that's my MO, just head down, keep going.

• 19:53Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  My sister wasn't nervous about it, she was calm. She was convinced the lady was just sending pics of everyone to the homeowner so he could call the cops for lying on the Airbnb. So we just laid low, we were quiet, didn't play loud music inside or outside the house and kept the place clean. But she still was getting worried that they would find a reason to kick us out. Turns out, we should have been way more worried about a ghost than any police paying us a visit. So we ignore the creepy neighbor, I calm my sister down and we go down to the bottom floor. And she had decorated the kitchen and living room with tons of streamers and adorable helium balloons. Streamers were hanging from every doorway and around the kitchen table and bar. We got into matching outfits, took a ton of photos for Instagram and got the rom-com started.

• 20:34Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  About an hour or two into the party, one of my bridesmaids noticed that one of the balloons, the engagement ring shaped one, was sinking towards the floor. We chalked it up to helium slowly seeping out of it. We ignored it until another bridesmaid went to grab more snacks from the kitchen. There, she saw the engagement ring balloon had slid under the kitchen table. Now, this was a bar height table surrounded by bar stools. There was no room for the balloon to float underneath it without being turned perfectly.

• 21:01Corinne Vien?

  Yeah, they're weirdly shaped.

• 21:03Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 21:04Corinne Vien?

  Cause there's a hole in the middle.

• 21:06Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  My bridesmaid pointed it out to the rest of us and we all tried to figure out if there was a vent nearby that could have magically pushed it under the table, but we couldn't find anything to make sense. We got a little weirded out and just laughed it off. And as we tried to lighten the mood, all seven of us watched the balloon turn 180 degrees under the table, slide horizontally between the chair legs and rise back up. It went from floating about three inches above the floor to now floating five feet off the ground in the middle of the kitchen. We all stared in disbelief. The balloon just hovered in the kitchen. We were all too shocked to be scared. We paused our movie and just stared at the balloon. Then 30 seconds later, it started moving horizontally towards the doorway that led to the staircase.

• 21:51Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Now there were streamers hanging in that doorway and we watched the balloon hit the streamers, stop, then slowly push its way through the streamers to the landing at the bottom of the stairs. At this point, one of my bridesmaids goes, "Wouldn't it be so scary if the streamers fell down right now?" And I swear to God, the streamers were yanked from the doorway. Every single one of us started screaming and we backed ourselves into the kitchen furthest away from the staircase. We fought over who would go to the doorway to check the streamers to see where the balloon went. And since it was my bachelorette party, I volunteered to do it. What? You should be like, "I'm safe, you all go."

• 22:32Corinne Vien?

  You're the number one person who doesn't have to do it.

• 22:35Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Well, I think Steph's one of us.

• 22:39Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I slowly crept to the doorway. I picked the streamers up from the floor. The tape that was holding them was still stuck to the doorway and I could see where they had literally been ripped from the force of being pulled down.

• 22:50Corinne Vien?

  Wow.

• 22:50Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  There's no way the wind could have done that. This was full on like a force that pulled them down. I turned the corner, I looked up the staircase and I saw the balloon creeping up the staircase, still about five feet off the ground, like it's being held.

• 23:07Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I made it all the way to the front door at the top of the stairs and stopped. It stayed there hovering right around where the peephole to the door was. And as if it was divine timing, the doorbell rang. We all started screaming again. Luckily, it was one of my bridesmaids who was running late and not a ghost ding dong ditching us. I made my friend run downstairs with me to avoid the haunted balloon. We tried to continue the party as if the haunted balloon wasn't still hovering by the front door. But the mood was a little off. We ended the night quietly watching girls trip, trying not to pee our pants from fear. At the end of the night, we were all too terrified to go to bed. We ran past the haunted balloon to our rooms, got ready for bed with our doors shut. And I ended up having a room to myself and had nightmares all night long.

• 23:51Corinne Vien?

  Oh, no. Oh, shoot. Because I was gonna say, like, how much do you want in bed that this was just like another girl, like a ghost girl? Who was just like, oh, I want to be a part of this. Like, this is so fun. Look at this balloon. Like, just there to party, but the nightmares.

• 24:03Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And also, if you're that scared, I would make everyone sleep in bed with me. Like, I would not sleep alone.

• 24:08Corinne Vien?

  No.

• 24:09Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I couldn't, I wouldn't be able to go to sleep by myself.

• 24:11Corinne Vien?

  I don't think I would either.

• 24:13Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I can't remember the nightmares now, but all I know is that I did not sleep well. As we cleaned up the next morning, this part's scary. As we cleaned up the next morning, that engagement ring balloon was stabbed with a knife at least 10 times. Oh, wait, sorry. I read that wrong.

• 24:33Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I definitely misread this when I first read it. I thought the ghost had stabbed it with a knife and like left it there as like a crime scene.

• 24:42Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  The girl stabbed the balloon with a knife to dispose of it.

• 24:45Corinne Vien?

  They were scared of the balloon.

• 24:45Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yes. As I look back on the party, I'm pretty sure that ghost was maybe looking out for the owner. Because the owner didn't want a bachelorette party on his property and maybe the ghost was trying to scare us away. I'm with you. I think the ghost was just like, this is the first time they've seen a bachelorette party.

• 25:01Corinne Vien?

  Fun, fun time.

• 25:03Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Although it was a bit scary at the time it was happening, I am happy I can say I had a bit of a haunted bachelorette party. Oh, yeah. I also had a few spooky spiritual things happen at my wedding as well, and it makes me happy. I had guests from the other side attend the ceremony. Thanks for listening to my story. I hope it could either give you goosebumps or put a smile on your face. We also never heard from the Airbnb owner or the police about our stay, so I guess it was all okay. See you on the other side, Steph. I also feel like a house that's decorated very like Instagrammable and stuff. It's kind of made to host like a bachelorette party.

• 25:35Corinne Vien?

  Right. I don't know why.

• 25:37Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 25:37Corinne Vien?

  The idea was that the, maybe they just came in with a certain energy that felt.

• 25:42Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Right.

• 25:42Corinne Vien?

  I don't know.

• 25:43Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 25:44Corinne Vien?

  I don't know. People are, people are weird about stuff.

• 25:46Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Neighbors are not always friendly.

• 25:48Corinne Vien?

  Yeah.

• 25:48Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And also I feel like there's communities where neighbors hate that houses that are turned into Airbnbs. So I feel like it might have nothing to do with you guys at all. It was just like a neighborly dispute.

• 25:58Corinne Vien?

  Right. Totally. But like the fact that the spirit was performing where it was like, oh, how creepy would it be if all the streamers came down? And it was like, yeah.

• 26:06Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 26:07Corinne Vien?

  That is, that's fun. That's like, we're having a good time. We're spooking ourselves.

• 26:11Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  For sure.

• 26:11Corinne Vien?

  We're just girls on a trip.

• 26:13Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I would do that if I were a ghost in the house.

• 26:15Corinne Vien?

  Right.

• 26:16Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And also like maybe that ghost had always wanted a ring. And here was like a massive, like the biggest fricking rock you could ask for.

• 26:24Corinne Vien?

  Well, and it's also an oddly shaped balloon. And it's not like you come across those balloons very frequently.

• 26:29Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 26:29Corinne Vien?

  Like most of the time, bachelor parties don't have them.

• 26:33Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  That's true.

• 26:33Corinne Vien?

  I don't think.

• 26:34Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  That's true.

• 26:34Corinne Vien?

  I've never been to one, but it is, it's more of like a.

• 26:38Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 26:38Corinne Vien?

  A rare find. It's a rare gem of a balloon.

• 26:40Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  It's a gem. Yeah. I'm on, I'm on the spirit's side. I think the spirit was just.

• 26:44Corinne Vien?

  I think they were fun.

• 26:45Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Trying to have fun. Yeah.

• 26:46Corinne Vien?

  Girls just wanna have fun. Okay, this is called, I witnessed a UFO in southern Appalachian Mountains.

• 26:54Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  On a girl's trip?

• 26:55Corinne Vien?

  And I have witnesses.

• 26:57Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  That is my dream next girl's trip. If I ever have another bachelorette, we're going UFO hunting.

• 27:04Corinne Vien?

  CE5 again. Oh, fuck, yeah. I get to play this one. Not Lexi.

• 27:07Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Literally, well, no one will, no one else will come except for you. Everyone will be like, sorry, RSVP unavailable.

• 27:14Corinne Vien?

  I already did it. I already spent the money. I'm like, no, guys, come on. We're gonna get abducted in the desert. It's different this time. A lot of the events are free.

• 27:26Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  You just might never come back.

• 27:28Corinne Vien?

  I know a lot of people wouldn't go if it was completely themed that way.

• 27:31Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Oh, 100%.

• 27:32Corinne Vien?

  When I was in charge of doing your booking the ghost tour in New Orleans, I had to book a much politer, lighter ghost tour than you and I would have done.

• 27:42Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yes.

• 27:42Corinne Vien?

  Because

• 27:43Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  People were scared.

• 27:44Corinne Vien?

  I was getting a lot of comments from people who were quite scared and didn't want to go. And I was like, we're not gonna, it's not gonna just be me, you and like one other person. The rest of the house is gonna be

• 27:53Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  At home.

• 27:53Corinne Vien?

  At home, like

• 27:54Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  No. People were troopers, they came.

• 27:57Corinne Vien?

  Yeah.

• 27:59Corinne Vien?

  Okay. Hey, girls or ghouls. My name is JoJo. I'm 27 and I'm from East Tennessee, AKA Southern Appalachia.

• 28:06Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Hell, yeah.

• 28:07Corinne Vien?

  This is a pretty short story, so I'm just gonna jump into it. This happened a few years back, so I can't really recall what time of year it was, but I know that it was a regular day. Nothing special.

• 28:17Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Every day is special.

• 28:18Corinne Vien?

  It is when you're with your best friend.

• 28:20Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Mm-hmm.

• 28:20Corinne Vien?

  My best friend and I decided to take a trip to Asheville, North Carolina, which is only about an hour trip from where we live. And this is something we did all the time. We would go for shopping. We would enjoy different types of restaurants. It was just different than what we had in our own town. And I will preface this by saying that I never fully believed in UFOs, let alone aliens. But after seeing what I saw with my own eyes, I cannot rule out other beings being amongst us. So

• 28:48Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Even Obama believes in aliens.

• 28:49Corinne Vien?

  He, yeah. Do you believe him when he was saying that

• 28:53Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  That Area 51 wasn't like a

• 28:55Corinne Vien?

  Yeah, that there's no like aliens kept here that he's aware of.

• 28:58Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Well, he said that there were no aliens being kept at, what is it, Area 51? That doesn't mean they're not being kept somewhere else. And he said he never saw them.

• 29:07Corinne Vien?

  But he like insinuated that there were, there were no like known bases or something keeping aliens.

• 29:12Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I believe that whatever part of the government or universe is doing alien studies, the president wouldn't even know about it. Like it's a deep underground.

• 29:23Corinne Vien?

  Cause he was, they, they asked, the interviewer asked him like, well, what was the like one thing you were hoping to, to learn about when you were, when you became president? And he was like, aliens.

• 29:34Corinne Vien?

  Of course.

• 29:35Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Of course.

• 29:35Corinne Vien?

  Aren't all of us looking for that?

• 29:37Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Wait.

• 29:38Corinne Vien?

  What? Okay, conspiracy.

• 29:40Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Love it. We really need like a little basket behind the couch that has like some props.

• 29:46Corinne Vien?

  The tinfoil hats.

• 29:47Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  The tinfoil hats.

• 29:48Corinne Vien?

  We have to do that. That's so easy. That's so easy to do.

• 29:51Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Okay, let's do it.

• 29:52Corinne Vien?

  Um, but I saw a TikTok where I don't know what the original TikTok was because it was someone else that like was like stitching over it or like telling the story of seeing it. Yeah, where a woman was at Buckingham Palace. And she was using one of those like thermal cameras or whatever. And the heat signatures were coming off of everyone walking around. The heat signatures were coming off of all of the guards in the back. But the guards in the very front of the palace had no heat signature. And so the whole conspiracy was that they weren't human.

• 30:23Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  They're aliens. They're amphibious aliens.

• 30:26Corinne Vien?

  Listen.

• 30:27Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Without heat.

• 30:28Corinne Vien?

  Mm hmm. Anyhow, sure. Here is the tea. Unknowingly, after our great girls trip and on our way back home over the mountains that evening, we were driving along, singing, talking, doing what us girls do, when all of a sudden a gigantic glowing and maybe shining even orb appears out of nowhere in the sky in between the mountain ranges. Both me and my friend are in complete silence. The UFO did a little wiggle motion in the sky and then darted off into seemingly thin air.

• 30:58Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I like the wiggle motion. I can think of them like dancing a little bit in the sky before going away.

• 31:02Corinne Vien?

  The velocity in which it was traveling was not from this universe. It looked like it was traveling at the speed of light. The light was an otherworldly color as well.

• 31:10Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Oh, interesting.

• 31:11Corinne Vien?

  The light, yeah. She said the light coming from it was kind of indescribable. I'll do my best to explain and paint a picture for you. If you think of like a striking blue or like an LED bright, almost whitish blue, but extremely bright, like almost blinding, I have actually never seen that color before.

• 31:29Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Whoa.

• 31:30Corinne Vien?

  We were both silent for only a few minutes after it disappeared, and I know we were both trying to understand what we had just witnessed. We both looked at each other simultaneously and both said, did we just see a UFO?

• 31:41Corinne Vien?

  We both agreed that if it were a plane, we would have seen flashing lights as airplanes have, or we would have been able to see it traveling to the distance because they just don't disappear like that one did. So yeah, basically it had no similarities to a plane. It wasn't a light tower. There were none in that area. We both came to the conclusion that what we had witnessed had to very much be a UFO.

• 32:04Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yep.

• 32:04Corinne Vien?

  And if you have your best friend see the same thing and describe the same thing as you, well, now you know you aren't crazy. And yeah, maybe that did really just happen and it makes it that much more real. And I still can't believe or understand what we saw or why we saw it. What do you think? What are your opinions? Love the podcast. JoJo.

• 32:21Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Um, you guys saw a UFO?

• 32:23Corinne Vien?

  Totally.

• 32:24Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Easy. Simple.

• 32:25Corinne Vien?

  Done. UFO.

• 32:27Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Next case. Solved.

• 32:32Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I love that. And also, I feel like North Carolina, that makes sense.

• 32:35Corinne Vien?

  Yeah. And it's like mountain ranges. It's at night. You're traveling on a road.

• 32:40Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 32:40Corinne Vien?

  It totally makes sense.

• 32:41Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  It does.

• 32:42Corinne Vien?

  But how cool.

• 32:43Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I feel like this episode has just given me a list of places that I want to go to.

• 32:47Corinne Vien?

  Yeah.

• 32:47Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  To have paranormal encounters.

• 32:49Corinne Vien?

  I can't believe we didn't have any crazy things happen when we were driving like thousands of miles, it felt like when we were on tour. We drove all the way.

• 32:56Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 32:57Corinne Vien?

  From Maine to Virginia. And back.

• 33:00Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  We had a lot of daytime driving.

• 33:03Corinne Vien?

  That's true.

• 33:03Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  The only nighttime drive that we did was after our Brooklyn show, we drove to Brian's house. That was like the nighttime drive. And the scariest thing that happened was trying to get out of Brooklyn and get onto the highway.

• 33:15Corinne Vien?

  Oh, I missed the turn like 17 times. I, we were going in circles. We were staying in Manhattan.

• 33:21Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  It was confusing though. No, we were staying in New Jersey.

• 33:25Corinne Vien?

  No, I know. But like, my car was staying in Manhattan. I got from Brooklyn to Manhattan. But I couldn't get out of Manhattan.

• 33:34Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  So I feel like that was the, the thing that happened.

• 33:37Corinne Vien?

  Mm hmm.

• 33:37Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  We were more focused about getting to the next location. Okay, wait. I'm excited for this one because it is, it's got a creepy ass photo.

• 33:49Corinne Vien?

  Ooh.

• 33:50Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Okay.

• 33:51Corinne Vien?

  Gosh, I feel like people have really been sending us more evidence recently and I'm so happy about it.

• 34:57Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Okay, this is from Michaela. I think that we can use your name. Okay. Caught on film. The lost phone Airbnb. Hey ladies.

• 35:07Corinne Vien?

  Hey.

• 35:08Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I've written a few tales a while ago, but this weekend came complete with another experience that as soon as it happened, I happily exclaimed, "I must send it to my ghostly gals." Which admittedly earned some weird looks for my friends, but you know, whatever. Names have been changed, so you're free to share away. Also, you will see that people's faces have been blurred out, or she like put like scratched marks on the faces so that we can't show their identities. This is because they requested photos of them not be shared. But, these photos must be shared. Honestly, it's sort of perfect. The following experience happened this weekend as we were at an Airbnb for my friend's spooky fall-themed wedding.

• 35:50Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  So there are some men here, but they're, it's like, they're staying at an Airbnb for the wedding weekend, but they have bachelor, bladgerup parties during the weekend.

• 35:58Corinne Vien?

  Okay, yeah, it's a, what do we call them?

• 36:00Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Combo.

• 36:01Corinne Vien?

  When it's like combined? Jack and Jill.

• 36:03Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Oh, is that a name for that? I didn't know that.

• 36:05Corinne Vien?

  Yeah.

• 36:05Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Okay.

• 36:05Corinne Vien?

  It's a Jack and Jill.

• 36:07Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  So when my husband, Brandon, and I, Michaela, pulled up to the Airbnb in Loomis, California, it was stunning. The house was an odd design, but tastefully managed and fairly newly built in 2018. As we began getting settled in, there was nothing strange, except that one of our friends, Stacy, could not find her phone. Which, you know, losing phones is just a reality of being alive at this point, so we all wrote it off. But she insisted she could not find it and had no idea where it could be. People called it, half of the people were hunting for it, and literally nothing. Finally, it was found, but it took a long time for being in a house that was only sort of occupied. I'm curious where they found it. We moved on with our night as the bride Cindy and groom Russ had returned from dinner with their parents.

• 36:51Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  They did the run-through with parents and the officiant, who was Stacy's husband, Josh. And the bachelorette and bachelor parties were about to start, which is where the photos come in. So Cindy and Russ wanted a Polaroid taken before the parties began. No biggie. Stacy took the following photo of them, and Josh held it while it developed. Even before it was done, he said, "Oh my god, is that a ghost in the hallway?" And he's like, "That's totally a ghost." Cue the Polaroid being passed around and all of us being shocked.

• 37:20Corinne Vien?

  Oh my god. I can't wait to look at it.

• 37:23Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  What's important to know is Josh and Stacy are deeply religious and do not do the spooky. So out of all of us, they are the least likely to lean into something scary happening. But within the next minute, I had Stacy take a control photo from the same exact position so we could debunk it. Alas, there was no ghost. Here, we can look at the photo and then I'll continue with the story. It's hard because it's a photo of a Polaroid, but you can tell.

• 37:46Corinne Vien?

  Oh, is it like the figure in the doorway?

• 37:48Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah. In the photo of the two of them. But then if you look at them side by side, like, there's maybe like a doorway, but the ghost is almost blocking that doorway in the original photo.

• 38:00Corinne Vien?

  Yeah. It's so wild because the figure almost looks like one of those like blow-up dolls.

• 38:07Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  It does. It's like very tall.

• 38:09Corinne Vien?

  Yeah. Like thin and very, I don't know, like stiff.

• 38:11Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  But you can see the shape of like the head. And you're right, like, the legs are almost abnormally long and tall.

• 38:18Corinne Vien?

  So weird.

• 38:19Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I love a ghost photo. Okay. Once the main hubbub about the photos died down, we all went on with our night. Before we go to our parties, we had a small combined little kickoff. During this time, a spider nest hatched behind the couch and all of the spiders swarmed up the walls.

• 38:35Corinne Vien?

  Oh my god.

• 38:36Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Was this a coincidence?

• 38:37Corinne Vien?

  That is a nightmare trip.

• 38:38Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah, horrifying. I'm not convinced it was a coincidence, and all of us were on edge, having this bad crawling feeling as we continued through the night. Yeah, I'd be, "Oh."

• 38:48Corinne Vien?

  I would rather see a demon than a spider's nest hatch in the home I'm staying in.

• 38:53Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah. Prior to going to bed, Josh and Stacy prayed over the area where the ghost was seen because they were not here for sleeping with that thing outside their door. Brandon and I were sharing a room with another couple, Mandy and Bronx, so we couldn't go to sleep until they were all ready to call it a night. No big deal. We cleaned up, the boys finished an intense game of Halo, and as part of the cleaning, we needed to take the trash out. Again, not a big deal. None of us knew where the bin was, so we went to go track it down. We were outside about halfway down the driveway when something strange happened. It just felt really heavy, and the both of us looked at each other. We both felt it. The lights from the house seemed to not penetrate the darkness on the driveway. It almost felt like it got darker.

• 39:36Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  So I turned on my flashlight, and even that barely illuminates in the darkness. Mandy, who is self-proclaimed not sensitive, starts to tell me how she doesn't feel right. Something is wrong, like there's something thick and unsettling, to which I agreed. Now, the stars were exceptional, and usually were the tines of people who would take some time to admire them, but right then, we were like, nope. And we boogied back inside as fast as we could.

• 40:01Corinne Vien?

  Boogied. I love that.

• 40:04Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  The next morning was a flurry, as it was wedding day, and in the rush of getting ready, I lost my phone. But I also had this weird experience of having zero memory about where I last had it. It was like my memory was wiped. Brandon and I searched and searched. He called my phone. I tried to ping it for my watch, and literally nothing. Until finally, I found it, sitting on the bed, as if it had been there the whole time. I brushed it off as maybe I was tired, but then later that day, Mandy's phone goes missing. Same thing, pinging it, looking for it, ends up being just like in front of her eyes. Then the wedding photographer's phone goes missing. Again, same thing.

• 40:39Corinne Vien?

  Oh my gosh, that's so many.

• 40:41Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  It's also interesting because every person who loses their phone has this like gap in memory. Like, I don't remember the last time I used it.

• 40:47Corinne Vien?

  Mm-hmm.

• 40:48Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Then bam, there it is, in a fairly easy place to find. A few times, we joked that it was the ghost. It seemed funny at the time, but now, I don't know. The last thing after the wedding is we were all sitting around talking. And we started out in the kitchen where Brandon was filling his water bottle. Then we moved to the living room where I distinctly remember watching Brandon set his water bottle down by the front of his chair. A few minutes later, I asked him for it because I was thirsty, but it wasn't there. We all went up searching for it. No one can find it. Confused, Brandon walked to the kitchen and there it was, sitting in the kitchen, across from where we had been, across from where we had all been looking.

• 41:24Corinne Vien?

  What is the spirit looking for? Like, it feels like it's going through everyone's phone.

• 41:28Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And then taking, it's just like, almost like disorienting all of them too.

• 41:32Corinne Vien?

  Yeah.

• 41:32Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  After we left, we were all absolutely exhausted. And not just because we had a bachelorette party and a wedding and a long weekend. No, we were drained in a way that I have never felt before. Once we made it to the airport, I started thinking back on everything and I can't help but feel that this house was like a hotspot or built on some type of portal. We were so utterly exhausted. And I can speak for myself, but I and Brandon were completely sober the entire time, didn't have a single drink. I would love to know your thoughts.

• 42:01Corinne Vien?

  Maybe the ghost wanted him to have a drink and that's why it was stealing his water bottle.

• 42:04Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah, it's like, stop hydrating, get drunk, so I can be more of a pest.

• 42:09Corinne Vien?

  I'm taking all of your phones, I'm gonna take drunken photos of all of you and blackmail you.

• 42:13Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah, that's from Michaela.

• 42:15Corinne Vien?

  That is a lot of activity with a lot of witnesses and a lot of targets.

• 42:19Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And it's just disorienting, like, what is the purpose?

• 42:22Corinne Vien?

  It's weird.

• 42:22Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 42:23Corinne Vien?

  I don't totally have an answer about the photo.

• 42:26Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I do love a ghost photobombing.

• 42:28Corinne Vien?

  I know.

• 42:29Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  What also just makes me think that like this entity is like always watching them, wherever they are in the house.

• 42:35Corinne Vien?

  Always watching.

• 42:37Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  You know, but it's like just lurking, waiting for an opportunity to do something. But it is so weird.

• 42:42Corinne Vien?

  It's like a nuisance.

• 42:44Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  How it's like removing things that are right in front of your eyes.

• 42:46Corinne Vien?

  Right. Which does kind of remind me of my childhood home because there would be.

• 42:51Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 42:52Corinne Vien?

  You know, you'd know that you put something down on the counter or on the desk or something.

• 42:55Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 42:56Corinne Vien?

  And then you'd search for like an hour and you wouldn't find it. And then you had to just be like, okay, I just need to give it a beat. I'll go back to exactly where I have looked four times and I know where I put it.

• 43:06Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And it's there.

• 43:06Corinne Vien?

  And if you wait long enough, it'll just be exactly where it was before.

• 43:10Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Which makes me wonder about, because even in Michaela's email, like every time they would, like when you do the find my iPhone ping, it's loud.

• 43:18Corinne Vien?

  Mm hmm. Yes.

• 43:19Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  You could have left it in the basement and you're on the like second floor.

• 43:23Corinne Vien?

  And you'll find it.

• 43:24Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And you can hear it.

• 43:25Corinne Vien?

  Uh huh.

• 43:25Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  But every single time, no one could hear the sound.

• 43:28Corinne Vien?

  Mm hmm.

• 43:29Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  So it almost makes me feel like it's going to another dimension briefly.

• 43:31Corinne Vien?

  It wasn't in that same plane.

• 43:33Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 43:34Corinne Vien?

  This is reminding me of Halloween town where like they go to the guy's house who has all of lost, the lost items.

• 43:40Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah.

• 43:41Corinne Vien?

  Yeah.

• 43:42Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah. Like it's just dropping through like a dimension where the ghost was taking it to his lair.

• 43:48Corinne Vien?

  Okay, I have, I have some photo evidence and video evidence as well.

• 43:53Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I love it.

• 43:54Corinne Vien?

  This is called thirty first birthday haunting. Hey, girls, love listening to your pod while I'm driving and doing chores. I've been a fan of paranormal things since I was a kid, but never experienced anything personally. That is until my thirty first birthday. I live in New Brunswick, Canada, and for my birthday, my sister, my mom and I decided to do a little trip to Halifax, Nova Scotia, to go to a Nordic spa and do some shopping, et cetera. The first night we were there, we went out for dinner and decided we wanted to go get a cocktail at a cocktail bar.

• 44:24Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  How fun.

• 44:24Corinne Vien?

  Yeah.

• 44:25Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Fancy.

• 44:25Corinne Vien?

  The first one we walked to was closed for renovations, so I quickly just Googled another one and we took an Uber over. When we got there, I was like, okay, this is a cocktail bar? It was super historic in a home called the Henry House.

• 44:42Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Hmm.

• 44:42Corinne Vien?

  The main floor was turned into a pub and the upstairs was a bar.

• 44:45Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I love that. Wait, now I'm gonna look up the Henry House.

• 44:48Corinne Vien?

  As soon as we walked in, I jokingly said, okay, this place is haunted for sure. So we sit down, the vibes are cozy, the fireplace is warm, there's very old furniture. It felt like we were back in the 1800s. Our waitress comes over and takes our orders and gives us a little history about the house. It was built in 1835, housed many government officials at that time, et cetera, et cetera. So I'm sitting there looking at this very old portrait of what I assumed to be a man who lived there at some point. And I decided to take a Snapchat to send to a few friends of the place.

• 45:18Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Why do I feel like Snapchat catches so many ghosts?

• 45:20Corinne Vien?

  I know, because it's like, maybe the ghosts are like, oh, it disappears.

• 45:23Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah. Little do they know.

• 45:27Corinne Vien?

  And I turned the camera to my face, very animatedly reacting to the kind of creepy photo I was filming. When I look back at that video, before I clicked send, I noticed a frickin' face right beside mine. Now, I have tried to debunk this with my sister and my mom, but the face doesn't look like mine. I don't have any explanation. I showed our waitress and she actually freaked out and got me to send it to her so that she could show all of the other staff.

• 45:54Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I love that.

• 45:55Corinne Vien?

  She said this place has a ton of paranormal activity and many employees have their own spooky experiences. I didn't feel like this was a bad entity, maybe just someone popping in saying, happy birthday? I don't know. Either way, it was a birthday that I will always remember.

• 46:08Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Wow.

• 46:09Corinne Vien?

  Okay, so we'll watch the video first.

• 46:11Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Although look how, it's like how unassuming that building is.

• 46:14Corinne Vien?

  Oh, yeah. It's very, it's very cool. But yeah, I would also get out of the Uber and be like, are we in the right place? This does not look like an establishment. Okay, we'll do the video and then I'll show you the photo.

• 46:34Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Oh, my gosh.

• 46:38Corinne Vien?

  Okay, and then she takes the, yeah, screen grabs the.

• 46:41Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Oh, my gosh.

• 46:42Corinne Vien?

  Because at first I was like, oh, is it some weird reflection of like her own face? But then no, nostril placement's different.

• 46:49Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Like the whole face is tilted.

• 46:51Corinne Vien?

  Like the expression is different.

• 46:53Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  It's like staring at her. Oh, my God, it's.

• 46:58Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Oh, my God.

• 46:59Corinne Vien?

  It's really creepy. Ooh, the hairline looks different. Now I'm getting chills.

• 47:05Corinne Vien?

  Wait, how do you see it again? Go back to it.

• 47:07Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  It looks like a woman.

• 47:08Corinne Vien?

  At first, I totally thought it was a woman, too.

• 47:11Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Oh, my gosh.

• 47:12Corinne Vien?

  Look at how close the nostrils are together.

• 47:14Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah, that's so clear.

• 47:16Corinne Vien?

  It is. And it's like right on top of her.

• 47:20Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Wow.

• 47:21Corinne Vien?

  Okay, wait, hold on. Let's watch the video again. Let's look at what the picture, like the portrait looked like.

• 47:27Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  The one that she pants to?

• 47:29Corinne Vien?

  Okay, that guy had a mustache. Not him.

• 47:31Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Wait, now I want to know, because I like, who is that?

• 47:36Corinne Vien?

  I don't know. Someone who feels like they can just about smooch her. Oh, this is from Chantel.

• 47:41Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  That is amazing. And also so unsettling, because especially, it's one thing if you saw that later, but seeing it exactly in that moment and then having-

• 47:52Corinne Vien?

  Before she even clicked send, like she, she just took it a second ago.

• 47:55Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And then having to sit there and finish your drink.

• 47:57Corinne Vien?

  Oh, my God, this thing is like right on me right now.

• 48:02Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  That is wild. Oh, my gosh.

• 48:05Corinne Vien?

  Amazing.

• 48:06Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  This is why you need to go on more Girl Just trips, because the ghosts love it. Like, it really does remind me of when Meredith and I were at the Reed House Hotel in Chattanooga, episode 359, if you're curious.

• 48:17Corinne Vien?

  You're so good at remembering. You always remember the actual number of episodes. You'd be like, oh, that was Encounters 159. What? How do you know?

• 48:26Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Mostly only remember for recent episodes, like if I've uploaded them or if I've done something recently with them.

• 48:33Corinne Vien?

  I don't remember things as we're doing them. We just read this and I went at like, as we were talking to put the video in a folder for our editor and I couldn't remember what the-

• 48:42Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  The number was?

• 48:43Corinne Vien?

  The number that we're recording is.

• 48:45Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Because we're also recording so many different episodes all at once.

• 48:47Corinne Vien?

  Yeah.

• 48:48Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  I don't know. One of my, one of my things.

• 48:50Corinne Vien?

  Your special skill.

• 48:51Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  One of my special skills. Anyway, but yes, it reminds me of that, that night. Where we really truly had a girls' night with the spirit, Annalisa, of the Reed House Hotel. And I feel like, I feel like ghosts, ghosts just want girls' nights.

• 49:06Corinne Vien?

  They want to be included. They don't want the pressure. It's just about having fun.

• 49:10Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Just hanging out.

• 49:10Corinne Vien?

  Just seeing where the night goes. It's not like a, perform for me unless we decide to learn a choreographed dance together to perform.

• 49:18Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Or to, which I, I want to do more of that. I haven't done a choreographed dance with friends since the WAP music video.

• 49:26Corinne Vien?

  Oh, my God.

• 49:27Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Shall we do a choreographed dance?

• 49:29Corinne Vien?

  Yeah.

• 49:29Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Okay.

• 49:30Corinne Vien?

  I don't know how fit and flexible at the current moment I can.

• 49:35Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  And we don't have much space in our studio.

• 49:36Corinne Vien?

  Bend over without getting crazy reflux, but we'll see. So long as it's, I could do River Dancing, maybe?

• 49:44Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  We can, we can do that.

• 49:45Corinne Vien?

  Because then you're upright the whole time.

• 49:47Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  We don't have, we don't have to bend and snap.

• 49:49Corinne Vien?

  Okay.

• 49:49Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  We can stay upright. Being a girl is so magical. Like, I really, the other night, I told you, I went to La Fabbrica with Madison and like all of her girlfriends. And so I knew Madison, but I had never met any of like her other friends. So I was going into a situation where I knew one person, but it was a bunch of girls. It was like eight girls total. And I was just like, even though going out and drinking doesn't like fill my cup energy wise, being around a bunch of girls who were just so supportive of one another and like also just sharing my lore. Because like, like when I, you know, dropping like that I was, that I'm divorced, people are like, what?

• 50:29Corinne Vien?

  Because you're still so young.

• 50:30Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Yeah, but it was just like very, I don't know, there was just something so cup filling about just being a bunch, around a bunch of girls.

• 50:37Corinne Vien?

  Yeah.

• 50:37Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  Who just, it was all love and support and kindness. Girls, girls.

• 50:42Corinne Vien?

  Girls, girls.

• 50:43Sabrina Deana-Roga?

  We love a girl's girl. And we love girls, and we love ghost girls, and we love, we love ghosts.

  Whenever fall comes back around, it always feels like a fresh start. This year, I've been layering in some styles from the new Lululemon fall drop because the weather is shifting and I find I have to be ready for the entire day and not just one part of it. Lululemon's fall line has some really versatile transitional pieces. So I can just wake up, throw on a matching set, add a jacket or a fleece and head out, knowing that I'll feel comfortable enough to go wherever the day takes me. Check out the new fall arrivals in store and online now at lululemon.com.
